Early 20th Century French Hand-Painted Quimper Oval Faïence Wall Platter
By Quimper Faience Pottery
Located in Dallas, TX
This vibrant antique ceramic platter was crafted in Brittany, France, circa 1920, and exemplifies the lively spirit of Quimper faïence. Oval in shape with a scalloped rim, the tin-glazed earthenware piece is hand-painted with an elaborate Breton scene depicting villagers in traditional costume gathered in joyous celebration, dancing, conversing, and playing music in a lush countryside setting. Their colorful garments and expressive gestures convey the warmth and festivity of rural life in turn-of-the-century France. The central tableau is framed by a richly textured cobalt blue border adorned with hand-painted floral and foliate motifs in golden ochre and soft cream tones, echoing the decorative language of Quimper’s celebrated ceramic tradition. The back shows signs of age and wear appropriate to its period, and the piece is unsigned but consistent with works produced by Henriot or HB Quimper workshops. Antique Quimper pottery...

Questions About Quimper Faience Pottery Folk Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify Quimper pottery, familiarize yourself with the markings associated with it. Rather than a brand, Quimper is a town in the Brittany region of France, where multiple factories have produced hand-painted glazed pottery since the 18th century. Henriot, Fouillen, Kéraluc and Porquier-Beau are some of the best-known makers of Quimper pottery, and each has had its own maker's markings. Some markings do say “Quimper,” but others don't. The best way to determine if a piece is Quimper pottery is to compare the marks on it to images shared on trusted online resources. Because there is so much variability, you may also find it helpful to use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a large selection of Quimper pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    Yes, some Quimper pottery is valuable. The age, condition and rarity of pieces generally determine how much they are worth. Typically, complete and nearly-complete sets tend to fetch higher prices on the secondary market than individual items. To find out whether a particular piece is valuable, consult a certified appraiser or expert dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Quimper pottery.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Quimper pottery is still made using casts, molds and colorful designs. After more than 300 years, Quimper pieces are still hand-crafted in Brittany, France by resident artists who ensure exceptional attention to quality and unique detail. Shop a range of authentic Quimper pottery from some of the top sellers around the world on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell how old your Quimper pottery is, experts state that it is necessary to research the glaze, technique, style and form of the piece. Cross-referencing maker's marks with information shared by trusted online resources can help in some cases, but many Quimper markings remained in use for many decades, so hallmarks alone usually aren't enough information to accurately assign a date. As a result, the simplest approach may be to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your pottery. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Quimper pieces.
